Priscilla Presley Confirms Lisa Marie's Children Are In Her Custody

Priscilla Presley has confirmed that she is currently taking care of her daughter Lisa Marie Presley's children, while their father faces allegations of child abuse.

In a Facebook post, the former wife of the late Elvis Presley shared pictures of her 8-year-old granddaughters, clarifying that they are in her custody until further notice. "There is Lots of confusion, commotion and concern from all the talk circulating," Presley wrote. "Let me put this to rest... the girls have not been in foster care and never will be. The girls have been with me and will be until all this is sorted out."

Michael Lockwood, who is the girls' father and Lisa Marie Presley's estranged husband, faces allegations of child abuse and neglect. People reports that Presley made the allegations in court papers filed earlier this month, in which she additionally claimed that Lockwood is the subject of a child pornography investigation. It is currently unclear from the filing why the children were allegedly taken from the custody of both their parents.

Presley filed for divorce from Lockwood last June, and has requested full custody of the children with supervised visitation for Lockwood.
